| Resumo: | This article aims to discuss some of the peculiarities involved in the translation of eastern philosophical texts, especially the sutras from Mahāyāna Buddhist Philosophy. For this endeavor we separate the discussion into two main points: The first deals with peculiarities arising from the time gap and different cultures through which the manuscripts survived; It also deals with the texts' reliability (due to significant differences between versions in the texts' corpora) and remarks about the language of the manuscripts. The second group deals with two main subjects: the first are the pre-requisites for such a translation, which factors are necessary for a broad understanding of the text and the terms in their own context. The second subject is the study of the manners one can make the translation accessible to the general public, balancing the necessity of academic precision and efficient transmission to a broader audience. |
